from or in connection with his employment with Employer.

out-of-pocket expenses resulting from such cooperation, provided such expenses are authorized by Employer in advance. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, participating in meetings with counsel for Employer and other Employer
representatives or agents pertaining to matters relating to the Employer’s operations.

forth in this Agreement.

 16. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. To the extent a provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed so that such provision is valid and enforceable while
protecting to the maximum extent the legitimate business interest of the Employer. 
 17. Binding Effect. This Separation Agreement
